[@brianslender4220]

It sounds like you're referring to the Messer Schmidt Bf 262, a German jet fighter from World War II. The Allies countered the threat of the Me 262 with several strategies: 1. **Fighter Escorts**: Allied fighters, such as the P-51 Mustang, were used to escort bombers and protect them from the Me 262 attacks. This tactic helped mitigate the Me 262's effectiveness against bombers. 2. **Tactical Changes**: Allied pilots adapted their tactics, often using faster, high-altitude fighters to engage the Me 262. They also employed hit-and-run tactics to avoid direct dogfights with the well-armed jet fighters. 3. **Anti-Jet Technology**: Improvements in radar and early-warning systems helped the Allies detect and intercept the Me 262 before it could inflict significant damage. 4. **Attacking Production and Bases**: The Allies targeted German aircraft production facilities and airfields to reduce the number of operational Me 262s and disrupt their deployment. These combined efforts helped to neutralize the threat posed by the Me 262, which, despite its advanced technology, was never produced in large enough numbers to turn the tide of the war.

But rumor has it that those P-51 Mustangs shot more than a few down

[@fortcrafterbossbehold9027]

​@@willie417 The P51 had nothing the ME 262 from a physical machine standpoint. The ME 262 was mechanically superior in every single way. However by the time they were fielded, the high quality jet fuel, readily available servicing, parts, high explosive cannon shells, large production numbers, and experienced pilots needed to make it a killing machine were non-existent. Instead the ME 262 got low quality fuel, poor servicing, poorly defended airbases (leading to quite a few losses as they were shot down from behind on takeoff), very low production numbers (kind of hard to build jets when ur factories keep getting bombed) and more than anything, from inexperienced newbie pilots who were barely capable of comprehending how to operate such a new fangled and complicated machine, let alone do so while fighting against highly experienced dangerous Allied pilots with dozens of kills worth of experience.

This is what hitlers generals meant when they said they were not ready for a full scale war until 1945. Imagine if they would’ve waited to attack until 1945. They would have steam rolled with these new jets. But then again I heard somewhere that Germany wanted to invade Russia as soon as possible because Stalin was planning on invading Germany as well.

[@tryptophan5313]

Die Deutsche Rüstungsindustrie wurde gar nicht informiert, wann der Krieg losgehen sollte. Man schätzte frühestens 1941, aber eher 1943.

[@fusionmechanic1]

I later learned that American escort fighters would fly high above the bombers so when the jets arrived they learned that after a dive they can match the jets speed for a short time to keep up and shoot them down how affective it was I not sure but was a tactic utilized to combat them.

@@rudramahadev22 The Japanese govt almost certainly knew that the United States was attempting to build atomic bombs. However, Japanese military, scientific, and government officialdom seems to have believed that the US would not succeed in fielding practical, working weapons before the war then being waged came to an end. There were several probable sources for Japan’s general knowledge of the existence of the Manhattan Project. The first was an observation by the man most responsible for the launch of the Japanese Army’s own nuclear weapons effort, Lt. Col. Tatsusaburo Suzuki. In his report summarizing the survey he conducted in 1940 to determine the feasibility of a Japanese atomic bomb project, he noted the disappearance of articles on nuclear fission from US technical journals, and concluded that this likely meant the Americans were already at work on The Bomb. Did the average Japanese citizen know about the race for atomic weapons?, almost certainly not, but the Japanese Govt did.
